A fresh, green-aromatic aldehydic acetal with a bright terpenic character reminiscent of pine needles, cut grass and lime peel. Diffusive and airy in the topnote, giving a natural outdoorsy lift before fading toward a mild woody-herbal undertone.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and perfume oils.

Odor

Herbaceous, sweet-green and slightly fruity-ethereal odor of moderate tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

Suggested for use in fragrance compositions, but does not seem to offer any advantage over Terpinyl acetate plus sweet-herbaceous-green chemicals.

Production

Produced from Formaldehyde diethylacetal plus Terpineol by short-time heating.
